The air is dryer in the house when you are using the AC or heating.

The air is wetter in the house when you are not, because you are breathing,
bathing and cooking.

Build to accommodate when you build. The methods are old and effective, and
consist of frame/floating panel, wrapping face grain around a piece ....

Any good book on woodworking will cover allowance for movement. Build tight
when the wood's high, loose when the wood's low, and build at a temperature
that's comfortable to you. If you like, make a simple wood room by
isolating your stock and/or project with taped plastic. A light bulb for
warmth will ensure lower relative humidity. Two-three weeks will take a
couple points off the MC.

We've had quite a few humid days of late here in Nebraska, with
temperatures in the 90's & 100's. (High of 77 tomorrow! Woohoo!) I
store my wood in the garage, which is attached to the house but for
all practical purposes maintains an outside humidity level rather than
an inside one, and so I'm curious about wood projects that will be for
indoors...should I store the wood that I will use in the house for a
while (how long?) to acclimate it to the interior humidity, only
taking it out to the garage to work it into whatever it's destined to
be?
